happy friday, david. 💜

tugging at my circuits trying to get anything done like

it's a good thing i kept the original panel from when i did an SXGA upgrade on my X61t (before, with vinegar syndrome, and after)

i think it's time to dispel the myth that #selfhosting #email is hard if a dumdum like me can set up https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver in a USD12/mo linode box (which also hosts my websites, so that's not USD12 for mail alone) in like 15 minutes

the hardest part is just getting the DNS DKIM, DMARC and SPF values right

sometimes scrolling through a bugged mastodon timeline can feel oddly poetic

quick friday #amiga ST-01 italo

styloo - pretty face

Inside, the WiLL Vi had a three-tone dashboard inspired by, and I know April Fool’s is mere days before and this is not a joke, a footlong sandwich.

duck #ditherinator

ohhh found a cool palette #ditherinator https://lospec.com/palette-list/cybergum6

ok not a huge one this time but #ditherinator v0.4 is out now

• NEW palette mode to sample colors from source image
• some code reworked to optimize things

https://maple.pet/ditherinator/

i think there's something wrong with my code, conceptually...

notice blue blob in the background and how it gets turned into a red patch

if i increase the error diffusion dithering it only gets worse

ironically this seems to be an issue with the CIELAB distance rather than the error diffusion algorithm itself

much to fix before #ditherinator v0.4

wikipedia is really falling into hard times huh

here's how easy it is to make your own #ditherinator palette image:

palette images are sampled for unique colors used in the image, in the order they are found (left to right, top to bottom), regardless of image size or quantity of each color

yyyyesssss this will do (we are sampling from the source image for the reduced palette)

#ditherinator v0.3 out!

• NEW palette remap mode
• NEW gradient palettes to play with
• tweaks to dithering algorithms for better results
• option to un-stretch non-square pixels

happy new year! 🎉🥂

coming soon to #ditherinator: luminosity-based palette retargeting

(or, in adobe parlance, gradient map)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

oh yeahhhhh

cooking something up for next version of #ditherinator
